CFX North Riverside

As a member, you are expected to be FREE SECURITY. billed me $15 cuz 3 ppl showed up in vestibule when I electronically opened the door. And the strangers came in behind me. Apparently I was supposed to stop them! 3rd stranger scanned his app even tho door was open. He knew, I guess.The two chicks, who MAY/MAY NOT HAVE HAD MEMBERSHIPS, walked in without scanning. Cuz door was open of course! They bill me for it. Mind you, I didn't hold door open for them. I just open door and walk in, and as I say, fail to be free security I get punished. One hour my working wages gone, as if I never worked for it. Disappear. You know what they should do is fine people $5 who leave their weights scattered on the floor, litter, and moan at the top of their lungs on each rep. Put some order in facility. But no. You would think with all this extra money, maybe $30-$90/night from scamming member, maybe they fix their equipment with this but no. So sit up bench and leg press machine bench are loose and tilt and wobble left right. You end up almost falling off decline sit up bench upstairs. Is that bad, throw it away or somebody get hurt. then with leg press bench, is not that bad yet but you push several hundred pounds, assume you want seat to be stable...come on brother is lunatic...I imagine somebody hurt themselves at gym and gym probably say you sign contract say you no sue.....yeah man but don't forget you are GYM. People pay for you to rent them GYM EQUIPMENT. We as members have right that All gym equipment be safely operating, under repair with warning sign, or thrown in the trash. No in between. Equipment should not be out there with the rest of the machines as if they work. I am a fairly light individual. 170lb tall srelatively thin, I imagine if someone on a weightloss journey were to use sit up bench upstairs they would bust their **** severely. When you go down decline whole bench tilt almost45 degrees, I fear someone overweight fall on their head, perhaps injure their feet ligament that hold them in place at top.Twist their spine. Gym would say sound like a you problem. In boxing room, wall dented in there is powderthat comes out. Very maintained. On stair master, one time I step on guy say "don't go on that one, it skips a step."Told me go on another one, another guy a more experience guy comes goes on the one in the corner that "skips a step." he'll go up three or four stairs up then do a shuffle on each rotation. Brother is nuts. THE GOOD: I love gym has dungeon feel. High ceiling. Not too bright. Not too packed, do what you need to. Equipment is spaced out, you not crammed. Good supply work out machines. Specifically for back, several rowing machines vertical and horizontal axis you operate with free weights or stack weight, cable or manual grips. Good spine day. Cardio rowing machines too. Free weights; two or three sets of popular low weight dumbbells, typically not all taken. $30 membership for 247 access to all locations great deal. Most all gym goers good people. Only one weird fitness couple come in to film, and one group of college boys that moan their names in their ears on each rep. ATTA BOY. *casually squats a thousand pounds*. Sucks to lift when they lift. MY PROBLEM with this gym is specifically what management finds Important And Not Important - They are hypocritical: They won't dare instruct Their Staff to be security, and tell lunkheads to quit moaning and breaking sound barriers and that they should (reasonably) shut up orleave, but they do instruct paying members to be security and (risk safety) block people from entering. As for money, they will Scam You Via Legal Contract to get 15 unconsensual bucks up out ya, keep it coming in, but they won't dare Spend The Money to make sure all equipment has pins for the weight stacks, all benches are stable. As for the one man staff, they sure do spend lot of time on cell phone zero time cleaning. Sometimes wrappers littered, bottles. Dumbells where you need to walk. Don't trip. There are careless young men that come here.

The CFX at the North Riverside location has this amazing personal trainer her name is Yedith. I have been training with her for the past 2 years approximately and I can share the amazing personal training skills, she possesses. Yedith has proven how amazing she is as a trainer during our sessions by teaching me adequate posture during our training. Also, I do her group training classes, and she gives us different routines. She has been a great inspiration for me during my fitness journey because she was the only trainer who was able to build my leg muscles, making me stronger and giving me trust in the process. She is very valuable and a great asset to this company. I want to thank you Yedith for being an amazing trainer and person. Best regards, Zaira

Would rate this gym a zero if that was an option. Dirty facility, broken equipment, inept staff and management. This gym was nothing but problems. During staffed hours there were no staff to be found , or they were preoccupied doing their own workouts, watching TV, and on their phones. During early mornings unhoused/mentally ill individuals would trail in behind members and hangout in the gym and nothing was done about it. Also never any clean towels available to wipe equipment - was advised to use paper towel from the bathroom.... which there was none! After a week at this gym I had had enough and went to cancel my membership - took several visits during staffed hours to actually find a staff member to cancel it for me and that turned into a whole other ordeal. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere.

Gym staff doesn't seem to care who's paying or not Especially after hours. it's nothing but free loaders being let in and taking up equipment, messing up the bathrooms and breaking everything.Almost tempted to cancel my own membership to join them. Doesn't seem like anyone would stop me From going in anyway. Not only that but I've been "flagged" for walking into the gym and someone coincidentally being behind me after hours and now I'm getting emails saying I can be charged if I do it again???? Wild.

Place is a scam. CFX does everything in their power to send you into collections. Even after having signed a cancellation letter signed in house and published to their site. This company doesn’t deserve the right to be an accredited establishment. Should have their business license revoked immediately.
